Template:Original department boilerplate

Start the page name for a department with the "Topic:" prefix; departments reside in the Topic: namespace. Wikiversity departments can be "contained" (linked to) by multiple schools. If two schools link to the same department they should cooperate to develop the department. See: Naming conventions.

Department description
A short description goes here...

The "Topic:" namespace contains pages that are for management and organization of small academic units at Wikiversity such as departments (see: Topics).

Learning projects

 * See: Wikiversity learning model.

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. To create a learning project, simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace; they have no prefix, like "Topic:") and start writing! We suggest you use the learning project template. To use this template, in the edit box on your new page type (or copy) and save it. Using "subst" subsitutes the the page for the template as if you had typed all the text present in the template onto the blank page. It is quite efficient.

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Please cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.

Also, select a descriptive name for each learning project. Learning projects can be listed in alphanumeric order by code. Code numbers are optional, however.

Active participants
The histories of Wikiversity pages indicate who the active participants are. If you are an active participant in this department, you can list your name here (this can help small departments grow and the participants communicate better; for large departments a list of active participants is not needed).
